Costumes

The Devil May Cry series features bonus Costumes that change the appearance of a character. Usually, changing costumes also offers some changes in gameplay.

Devil May Cry

 * Dante - The default costume.


 * Super Dante - Super Dante looks just like regular Dante. However, he has unlimited Devil Trigger. Unlike later Super Costumes in the series, this one will regenerate Dante's health for as long as he is in Devil Trigger. Devil Trigger consumptive moves can be spammed freely as well, such as the Bangle of Time and Nightmare-Beta. During the first round with Mundus, Dante can also spam his dragon attack as many times as needed.


 * Sparda - Dante takes on the form of his father, the Legendary Dark Knight, Sparda. Unlike Dante, Sparda begins with Yamato and Luce and Ombra. In addition, his shadow graphic is that of Sparda's devil form instead of his human form. Unlocked after finishing Hard.

Dante

 * Dante - Default costume.


 * Diesel Dante - Complete the game on Normal Mode or enter cheats to unlock Dante in jeans.


 * Trish - By completing Hard Mode with Dante, the player can play as Trish. She can be used in both Dante's and Lucia's scenarios and is equipped with Sparda's sword and Luce and Ombra handguns, both maxed out. Her sword attacks and punch combos are reused from Dante's Alastor sword and Ifrit gauntlets (Devil May Cry 1), though she has other moves, and can shoot her infamous yellow lightning.


 * DMC1 Dante - Complete Dante Must Die Mode. Dante comes with maxed out Force Edge instead of Rebellion.

Lucia

 * Lucia - Default costume.


 * Lucia's 1st Diesel Costume - Complete the game on Normal Mode or enter cheats to unlock Lucia in jeans.


 * Lucia's 2nd Diesel Costume - Complete Hard Mode with Lucia.


 * Arius's Secretary - Complete the game on Lucia Must Die Mode.

Dante

 * Dante - The default costume.


 * Shirtless Dante - This costume doesn't have the coat, just like in the first mission. You can see Dante's half of the Perfect Amulet with this costume. Unlocked after finishing Easy or Normal Mode.


 * DMC1 Dante - Dante's costume from the later game chronologically. Dante assumes Sparda's devil form while in DT and Rebellion is replaced with the Force Edge. Unlocked after finishing Normal Mode.


 * Coatless DMC1 Dante - Like DMC1 Dante, the appearance is the same as that of Devil May Cry, but without his coat, and bearing a resemblance to Super Dante's official 3D render from DMC1. (he actually wears his coat as Super Dante ingame.) Unlocked after finishing Hard Mode.


 * The Legendary Dark Knight - Dante takes on the form of his father, the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda. As with "DMC1 Dante", Sparda wields the Force Edge. In addition, his shadow graphic is that of Sparda instead of his human form. Unlocked after finishing Hard Mode.


 * Super Dante - With this costume, the player is granted a pseudo form of unlimited DT. While the Devil Trigger gauge does not deplete over time, DT consumptive techniques such as DT Explosion will decrease the gauge. On the original release for PS2, however, Quicksilver and Doppelganger styles do not consume the gauge, though they actually do in the Special Edition version. In addition, the player does not receive regenerative Vitality. In the Special Edition it is unlocked after finishing Very Hard Mode or Bloody Palace.


 * Super Legendary Dark Knight - Only in the Special Edition. The player takes on the form of Sparda and gains unlimited DT. Unlike Super Dante (original edition), DT in this costume allows Vitality to regenerate as well as infinite usage of DT consumptive techniques. Unlocked after finishing Dante Must Die Mode in the Special Edition.

At the Title Screen, hold R1 + R2 + L1 + L2 + D-pad Up+Left + Left Analog-stick Down+Right until "Devil May Cry" (like when beginning a new save file) is heard. This will unlock all bonus modes, alternate costumes, and gallery entries.

Vergil

 * Vergil - Vergil's default costume.


 * Coatless Vergil - Without his coat, Vergil show his arms and his black shirt. Unlocked after finishing Easy or Normal Mode.


 * Corrupt Vergil - This suit represents the form of Vergil when he is under the control of Mundus. He looks similar to his default costume except that his skin tone is whitish and his coat is purple, imitating his father's human form. In DT, he takes on the appearance of Nelo Angelo. He also gains the ability to wield his Blade and Gaunlets instead of Force Edge, Beowulf, and Yamato. Unlocked after finishing Hard Mode.


 * Super Vergil - This costume serves the same purpose as Super Dante except that Vergil has a different appearance and moveset. Unlocked after finishing Very Hard Mode or Bloody Palace.


 * Super Corrupt Vergil - Serves the same purpose as Super Legendary Dark Knight. When in Devil Trigger, the player turns into Nelo Angelo gains the ability to use Nelo Angelo's Blade and Gaunlets instead of Yamato, Beowulf, and Force Edge. This costume also grants regenerative ability and Summoned Swords techniques won't decrease the DT gauge. Unlocked after finishing Vergil Must Die Mode.

Devil May Cry 4
Dante and Nero each only have one Standard, available at the start of the game, and one Super costume, unlocked by beating the game on "Dante Must Die", but both have the same appearance. They provide an infinite Devil Trigger Gauge, as well as infinite Exceed, Disaster, and Rage Gauges on the PC version, but reduce the Mission score by 80% and lack the natural ability to restore Vitality using Devil Trigger.

Each costume also has the ability to use Automatic Mode to reduce the difficulty of gameplay.

DmC: Devil May Cry
Unlike the earlier Devil May Cry games, DmC: Devil May Cry not only introduced weapon skins, but also separated cosmetics costumes from game-altering abilities, allowing players to mix different skins with different gameplay perks.
